geography

The city is located in the Ussuri lowlands about 400 km north of the regional capital Vladivostok on the left bank of the Bolshaya Ussurka (Great Ussurka) not far from its confluence with the Ussuri , which marks the border with the People's Republic of China . The border runs just over five kilometers from the city center. In the urban area, the Malinowka joins the Bolshaya Ussurka from the left.

The city of Dalnerechensk is administratively directly subordinate to the region and at the same time the administrative center of the raion of the same name . The southwestern village of Laso and three smaller villages with a total of 3894 inhabitants also belong directly to the city , so that the total population of the administrative unit city ​​of Dalnerechensk is 31,790 (2009).

history

Today's place was created around 1894 in connection with the construction of the Ussuri Railway from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok, which is now the easternmost section of the Trans-Siberian Railway . The station and location were named after the Iman River (Russian Иман , derived from Chinese 伊曼 / Yiman).

In 1917 the place received city rights.

During the Russian Civil War , the city was one of the most competitive in the Far East of Russia and was badly damaged. At the end of May 1920 the Bolsheviks Sergei Laso , Alexei Luzki and Vsevolod Sibirzew , who were arrested by the Japanese intervention troops after the Nikolayevsk incident, were killed by “white” Cossacks at the nearby Muravyovo-Amurskaya train station . This incident was later exaggerated for propaganda purposes in the Soviet Union : the three were allegedly burned alive in the fire box of a steam locomotive . The station and village were renamed Laso , a memorial was erected at the site of her death, and a number of other places and many streets in the country were renamed; to a lesser extent to Luzki and Sibirzew.

In 1969 there was a border conflict between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China north-west of the city, the incident on the Ussuri . As a result, the river and city of Iman were renamed as part of a campaign against geographical names of Chinese origin in 1972: the river in Bolshaya Ussurka , the city in Dalnerechensk (means city ​​on the river in the Far East ).
